Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSHARED-36:
--------------------------------------------
Using BigInteger is a bit a PITA, as the only way we have to create a
BigInteger is to use a String as a value.
I would really favor long at this point, as we can be sure than any value
declared longer than 2^63-1 won't be stored anyway (I hope so !!!)
> Attribute type description schema parser uses integer for syntax length,
> should be BigInteger

> Key: DIRSHARED-36
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSHARED-36
> Project: Directory Shared
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.9.15
> Reporter: Stefan Seelmann
> Assignee: Stefan Seelmann
> Fix For: 1.0.0-RC1
>
>
> The schema parser assumes that the syntax length of an attribute type
> description is an integer. RFC4512 states that this is a number:
> number = DIGIT / ( LDIGIT 1*DIGIT )
> As an example, Novell eDirectory defines the following AT where the length is
> greather then Integer.MAX_VALUE and so parsing fails:
> ( 2.16.840.1.113719.1.1.4.1.123 NAME 'certificateValidityInterval' SYNTAX
> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27{4294967295} SINGLE-VALUE X-NDS_NAME
> 'Certificate Validity Interval' X-NDS_LOWER_BOUND '60' X-NDS_UPPER_BOUND '-1'
> X-NDS_NONREMOVABLE '1' )
> We should use a BigInteger and check that the number is positive.
